  • Graph a Linear Equation by Plotting Points Step 1. Find three points whose coordinates are solutions to the equation. Organize them in a table. Step 2. Plot the points in a rectangular coordinate system. Check that the points line up. If they do not, carefully check your work! Step 3. Draw the line through the three points. Extend the line to fill the grid and put arrows on both ends of the line.
  • Find the x- and y- Intercepts from the Equation of a Line Use the equation of the line to find the x- intercept of the line, let y=0y=0 and solve for x. Use the equation of the line to find the y- intercept of the line, let x=0x=0 and solve for y.
  • Graph a Linear Equation using the Intercepts Step 1. Find the x- and y- intercepts of the line. Let y=0y=0 and solve for x. Let x=0x=0 and solve for y. Step 2. Find a third solution to the equation. Step 3. Plot the three points and then check that they line up. Step 4. Draw the line.
  • Strategy for Choosing the Most Convenient Method to Graph a Line: Consider the form of the equation. If it only has one variable, it is a vertical or horizontal line. x=ax=a is a vertical line passing through the x- axis at aay=by=b is a horizontal line passing through the y- axis at bb. If y is isolated on one side of the equation, graph by plotting points. Choose any three values for x and then solve for the corresponding y- values.
